Girding for Battle: The Arms Trade in a Global Perspective, 1815-1940Donald J. Stoker, Jonathan Grant Bloomsbury Academic, 30 Ağu 2003 - 256 sayfa The literature on the post-1950 arms trade is exhaustive. In contrast, there is almost nothing that examines the pre-1950 trade in arms in a solid, empirical manner. This volume fills that void. It is a broad collection of articles that examines aspects of the global trade in armaments from 1815 to 1940. Its collective thrust analyzes the connections between diplomacy, the domestic politics of procurement, private business, and military technology transfers in Asia, Europe, and Africa and the Americas. |
